kodi boots up with 1920x1080p and I am not able to change it via the menu. (Menu options disabled). The native resolution of my Beamer is 720p but the odroid is connected via a Denon AVR 1912.

I tried several options in boot.ini to change to resolution to 720p but without success. I could change to resolution when kodi was running via ssh and xrandr-Command. There was still a picture after that but the GUI was somewhat broken and didn't resize properly.

Does anyone know of a way to force a resolution? Maybe xrandr-command at startup? Or what exactly to put into boot.ini?

I was unable to configure the Denon AVR to demand input at 720p. There are no HDMI options like this at all :-(.

2. CEC

I hoped that it would be possible to control kodi with my Denon AVR Remote. But nothing has worked so far. I was playing around with the cec-client command on the SSH shell to see if I get an error message, but it say that there is no link. I edited the hdmi_cec_config-File and tried to set sensible settings in the CEC plugin but I don't know exactly what I am doing...

Can someone recommend a CEC tutorial to get me started?

There are a few minor things (screen flicker in menu animations, spotify addon, standby activation), but those are the two main problems that keep me from throwing out my old satellite receiver.

Thanks a lot again and have some nice holidays..

With

Code

setenv video_output "drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x720.bin"

in the boot.ini file, the desired resolution will be forced.

For CEC, you'll have to make the port number in /storage/.config/cec-hdmi-port.conf match the one in the Kodi CEC settings and match the HDMI port on the TV. The HDMI port numbering on TV is sometime off-by-one.

I've finally been able to make LibreELEC 8.2.x stable images for ODROID-U2/U3.They're available at the usual place: Index of /~fraggle/download/libreelec/Odroid_U2 and can be installed with the LibreELEC graphical installer. They come in two flavors: one image for SD-Card, the other for eMMC module, hence the two directories.

Fixed issues: - Slowness when watching a video; - Installing LibreELEC addons is now possible;- Default configuration for the CEC is HDMI port 1. If you want to change it, you'll have to edit /storage/.config/cec-hdmi-port.conf;

- Horizontal synchronization issue that might sometimes divide the screen when using MFC hardware codecs (fixed as of 8.0.2 release).

Known issues:

- Choppiness during videos playback; - Version upgrade is not automated and should be done manually (but it's really easy to do).
